1 dead after shooting at Georgia nursing home

One person is dead after a shooting Friday at a nursing home for veterans in Georgia.
Richmond County sheriff’s deputies were called to the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home around 11:20 a.m. Deputies said that, upon arrival, they found a person dead of a gunshot wound.

The Augusta Chronicle reported that a woman was found fatally injured in the nursing home's parking lot. Her identity was not immediately released, although officials told WJBF that she was an employee of Augusta University. The university co-operates the nursing home with the Georgia Department of Veterans Service.

University officials said in a tweet around 12:10 p.m. Friday that the shooting was "targeted" and appeared to have stemmed from a domestic violence incident.

UPDATE: It appears that this is a domestic violence targeted attack. Multiple police agencies are responding. We are no longer treating this as an active shooter incident. Expect a heightened police presence in the area. There is no longer a need to shelter in place.

The shooter, who was not immediately identified, was at large Friday afternoon. He left the scene in a Chevy Traverse, according to a message sent out by Paine College, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is a 192-bed skilled nursing care facility located next to Augusta University's campus.
